             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company is a Delaware corporation organized in 1986. 
The Company is engaged in the business of designing, engineering
and selling flexible double-wall underground piping systems,
sump/risers and dispenser sumps, jackets for underground storage
tanks and related products for use in connection with the
underground conveyance and containment of petroleum and alcohol
based motor vehicle fuels, including gasoline and gasohol.  The
principal end users of the Company's products are service
stations, convenience stores and other retail sellers of
gasoline, gasohol and other motor vehicle fuels, and government
bodies, utilities and other fleet vehicle operators.

Net Sales

     The Company's net sales for the quarter ended March 31,
1996, were $7.0 million compared to $8.1 million for the
corresponding quarter in 1995.  The decrease was primarily
attributable to a decrease in sales of all products in the North
American and European markets due to extreme weather conditions
which caused construction delays in these markets and to a lesser
extent a decrease in selling price on certain products due to
increased competition in the flexible piping market.

Gross Profit

     The primary component of the Company's cost of sales is the
product manufacturing costs paid to various third party
manufacturers.  Other components are the variable and fixed costs
of operating the Company's warehouses, depreciation of molds,
tools and equipment, warranty expense and limited assembly costs.

The Company's gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
was $2.6 million compared to $3.5 million for the corresponding
quarter in 1995.  The decrease resulted primarily from decreased
sales, an increase in cost on certain products and a decrease in
the selling price on certain products due to increased
competition in the flexible piping market.

     The Company's gross profit percentage decreased to 36.6% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared to 42.5% for the
corresponding quarter in 1995.  The decrease was primarily
attributable to a decrease in the selling price on certain
products due to increased competition in the flexible piping
market coupled with an increase in cost on certain products and
to a lesser extent the unfavorable impact of certain fixed
operating costs being spread over a decreased sales base.

Operating Expense

     Selling, general and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related employee benefits, payroll
taxes, commissions, royalties, legal expenses and other general,
administrative and overhead costs.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, were $2.4 million.

Interest Expense

     Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, was
$52,000 compared to $30,000 for the corresponding quarter in
1995.  The increase was due to the Company's borrowings on its
term loan to increase its manufacturing capabilities which did
not begin until the latter part of fiscal year 1995.

Amortization of Intangibles

     Amortization of Intangibles consists of the amortization of
goodwill over a period of 40 years and the amortization of
various patents and licenses that are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents
(which range from 13 to 17 years) at the acquisition or
subsequent issuance date.

Income Taxes

     Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, was
$33,000 compared to $368,000 for the corresponding quarter in
1995.  The decrease was due to the decrease in the Company's
income before income taxes.

Net Income

     The Company's net income for the quarter ended March 31,
1996, was $13,000 compared to $493,000 for the corresponding
quarter in 1995.  The decrease for the period is the result of
decreased sales, an increase in cost for certain products and a
decrease in the selling price on certain products due to
increased competition in the flexible piping market.

Seasonality and Economic Conditions

     The Company's sales are affected by the timing of planned
construction of new service stations and the retrofitting of
existing service stations by the end users, both of which are
influenced by inclement weather and general economic conditions. 
Accordingly, the Company's net sales and operating results for
the quarter ended March 31 are generally adversely affected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company had working capital of $7.2 million and $8.2
million at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. 
The $1.0 million decrease in working capital was primarily
attributable to an increase in the Company's line of credit
borrowings to fund its working capital needs.

     The Company satisfies its working capital needs primarily
through funds generated by operations and by borrowings under a
$4.0 million unsecured and line of credit facility with a
commercial bank.

     The Company believes that its presently available funds,
existing credit facility and the cash flow expected to be
generated from operations, will be adequate to satisfy its
anticipated working capital requirements for the foreseeable
future.<PAGE>
